I have a 12 Ram 2500 with a Snow Dogg 8'6" V plow. Any recommendations for upgrading front springs for better support of heavy plow. I use to have a Snow Dogg MD 7'6" with no drop or sag issues using Rough Country 2" spacers. Now even with spacers get at least 2" drop when raising plow. I am currently looking at Tough Truck Coils TTC-1216 which is all spring with 2.5" lift on it. Have seen good reviews on them. Anyone running them or anything else to support 1000lb plow.

I would go with bags, or custom cut dual rate springs. I got a quote for some, and they were under $800/pair.

Fyi...almost all of the aftermarket leveling kits that include the coils are not rated a plow.

exactly. Most aftermarket coils will probably have less spring rate than the stockers... equalling more sag.

if the stock spring rate is too low, I would suggest air bags for the front. That way it dosnt ride like a dump truck all summer when you dont have the plow on.
